Question

Find the value of tan M rounded to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

36.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$ to find the length of LK.

40 is the hypothenuse because it is directly across from the right angle.

$a^2 + 24^2 = 40^2$

$a^2$ = 32

Tan is opposite over hypothenuse.

Tan M = 36.9
